This is how I cycle my comms, I know a lot of programmers suggest timers.
If you are not doing a lot of position/velocity changes there is no need to keep sending it you could set it up to only send it when a change is needed. You will notice I also read back the info so I can be sure the servo has the correct info before I trigger it to move. You can also set up your error bits from the messages to let you know if a servo is not communicating.
I see how you triggered the msgs now. The MG EN XIO bit turns the OTL on, and the MG DN bit Unlatches.
The advantage to doing it that way is so it's not repeating every X s like in a timer right?
